  1. What should I do if I am injured at work? If you are lesionado en el trabajo, there are several steps you should take to ensure that you receive proper medical attention and that your legal rights are protected. Here are some things you can do: ✓Seek medical attention: Your health and safety should be your top priority. If you have been injured, seek medical attention immediately. Depending on the severity of your injury, you may need emergency medical treatment. ✓Report the injury to your employer: It is important to report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. Most states have strict deadlines for reporting workplace injuries. Failure to report the injury within the designated time frame could result in a loss of benefits. ✓Document the injury: Make a record of the accident and the injuries you sustained. Take photos of the accident scene, and keep a journal of your symptoms and medical treatment. ✓Follow the doctor's orders: Follow your doctor's instructions regarding your medical treatment and recovery. If you are unable to work due to your injury, make sure to obtain a doctor's note to provide to your employer. ✓File a workers' compensation claim: If you are unable to work due to your injury, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Contact your employer's workers' compensation insurance carrier and file a claim. You may need to provide documentation of your injury and medical treatment. ✓Consult with an attorney: If your employer or their insurance company denies your workers' compensation claim or if you believe that you have a legal claim against a third party, it is important to consult with an attorney who specializes in workplace injuries. An attorney can help you navigate the legal system and ensure that your rights are protected. Clearly, hiring the right lawyer for your case can be difficult. But by learning about the benefits of each type of lawyer and how to engage with them effectively, you'll be on the path to making a great first impression and an excellent decision overall. The next step is to review some recommendations for finding a good work injury attorney. Remember, it is important to take action as soon as possible after a workplace injury to protect your legal rights and ensure that you receive the medical attention and compensation you need. It is probably important for everyone to know that if you are lesionado en el trabajo and do not receive workers' compensation and you are later awarded more money by a civil jury, your employer can take that compensation from your
